Noo.... but this is not fair
Fans have taken to social media to complain
after the late comedian Joan Rivers was left out of the Academy Awards’
In Memoriam segment, remembering those who died in the previous year.
Rivers had never won an Oscar, but she was a staple of the
awards season after hosting the E! network’s red carpet coverage for
nearly 20 years., See what they wrote after the cut..
John Barrowman took to Twitter to complain
She has been credited with transforming it from a catwalk to an event in itself.
The actor John Barrowman tweeted: "Where was #JoanRivers in the memorial mentions. Just saying."
Another viewer, @DevinScillian, said: "I wish Joan Rivers was alive so we could hear her choice words about whoever decided to leave her out of the memorial segment."
Although best-known as a comic, Rivers had also appeared in several films including The Muppets Take Manhattan and Shrek 2.
The 81-year-old died on 4 September after complications during surgery.
Italian film fans were also left disappointed by the exclusion of the award-winning director Francesco Rosi, who died in January.
He won a BAFTA in 1983 for Christ Stopped At Eboli, and the Grand Prix at Cannes in 1972 for The Mattei Affair.
The Academy’s tribute included Robin Williams, Mickey Rooney and Lauren Bacall.
